The Body of Man formed with perfect design for Beauty and Usefulness. A short description of its parts. The fabric of the Eye and Hand admirably discovers the Wisdom of the Maker. The erect stature of the Body fitted for the rational Soul. Man by speech is fitted for Society. How the Affections are discovered in the Countenance. The distinction of Persons by the face, how necessary. The reasonable Soul the image of a wise and voluntary Agent.

The vanity of Epicurus's Opinion of the Worlds original, discovered, from the visible order in all the parts of it. Chance produces no regular effects. The constant natural course of things in the World, proves that 'tis not framed nor conducted by uncertain Chance. The World was not caused by the necessity of Nature. In the search of Causes the mind cannot rest till it comes to the first. Second Causes are sustained and directed in all their workings by the first. The Creator, though invisible in his Essence, is visible in his effects.
